BACKGROUND:
|
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION
|
Adopted Resolution No. 069602 on July 22, 2008, which rejected all bids received on May 13, 2008, and authorized the Director of Public Works to re-advertise the project and issue a call for sealed bids. The reason for rejecting the bids was because of a newly adopted change in the State Code that was not reflected in the original plans and specifications for this project.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
On Tuesday, September 9, 2008, bids were accepted for this project and subsequently referred to this office for checking and recommendation. The bid of:
|
|
|
Ascent Elevator Services Inc.
|
1555 Yosemite Ave., #13
|
San Francisco, CA 94124
|
|
|
at $248,000 was the lowest bid received.
|
|
|
A summary of the bids received is attached as Exhibit “A.”
|
|
|
Staff has reviewed the bid documents and has determined that the Equal Employment program submitted by Ascent Elevator Services is in accordance with the current Equal Employment guidelines and that the Contractor complies with the equal benefits and jury duty pay provisions of the County ordinance code.
|
|
|
It is necessary for the Board to readopt the plans and specifications because of the change that was made to comply with the new State Code.
|
|
|
A resolution has been approved as to form by County Counsel.
|
|
|
